Heather’s collage pieces use fine art paper, stamps, sheet music, photos, vintage ephemera, jewelry beads, buttons, old letters, poetry and acrylic paint. Heather’s layered collage style usually begins with no preset outcomes, so each piece becomes her favorite ‘beautiful mess’–leaving her covered in glue, paper and glitter.
